Weirdly addictive foods or beverages?

Nuts: all kinds, raw, roasted, salted, plain, but not sweet. If they're anywhere in the vicinity of our house they won't be there next day.
Vegetables: most kinds, any preparation method, cooked or raw. They're pretty cheap here but I go through pounds a day so they still end up taking up considerable room in my budget. Thankfully they're low in calories.
Cheese: most kinds except the pungent variety, I stomp my feet a bit whenever I have to tell myself "enough", but thankfully I manage. Still addictive.
Sweetened condensed milk: If a can is opened consider it gone. Oddly enough, if I don't open the can I'm pretty relaxed around it. So I have it in my pantry but I think more than twice before opening one and only do when it's an ingredient in a recipe. I do sneak a taste before using, but at least it isn't an entire can.
Tomatoes: raw. I felt I needed to single them out and not count them towards vegetables because it's the one item that I have eaten every single eating day without fail for the past 30 something years of my life. They're low calorie so bring it on!1 -
Someone else mentioned goldfish crackers and man... so right! i once bought a huge carton of them (larger than my head) and my boyfriend and i demolished it in a week. yikes!
Of course ice cream i can't really keep around, then there's any kind of little debbie snack, uncrustables pb&j, that white chocolate wonderful peanut butter by the pb co, cheese balls or puffs, and my favorite pickles! I could demolish a whole jar of the hot and spicy dill pickles by best maid, or all the vlassic butter pickles in a single sitting.0 -
Obviously junk like crisps and dip and greasy meals but on the slightly healthier side...
Warm crusty bread with balsamic vinegar & olive oil to dip (especially if I've got a bowl of roasted garlic, sun dried tomatoes and olives to munch along with it), I can polish off an entire 400g loaf as a snack, French and British cheeses with biscuits, grapes and complimentary jelly (quince/cranberry/apple and walnut). Oooh and veggies sticks with proper hummus.
On top of that a nice cuppa tea with milk and sugar, can't beat it. ;P1 -
Kettle Chips, Mini Cheddars, Rich Tea or Custard Cream biscuits, punnets of grapes, punnets of cherries, family-size chocolate bars, peanuts/mixed nuts, doughnuts... if any of these are in front of me, no matter how large the qty (multipacks etc.), I will eat them all, through feeling full, right through to feeling sick.
Cream crackers and cheese, now there's a combo I can eat a LOT of!!0 -
- Sriracha Popcorn by POP! I will eat the whole bag without stopping unapologetically. Also, I open it from the bottom so I can get all of the salty hot goodness first...
- Hot Cross Buns (seasonal bakery item) come in a package of 6 at my local bakery. My family better not eat any of them.
- Fried Cheetos have to be bought in the smallest bag possible because I will eat them in one setting.
- Barcel's Takis Nitro Habanero & Lime ... I... can't... stop....

Nutella for me. I don't bother buying it. Other than that, i don't have banned foods in the house, but i have difficult nights sometimes trying to moderate my nightly snacks, like nuts and seeds, honey, dried cranberries, ice cream, chocolate and candy. I come back repeatedly to get handful after handful. I still maintain fine,so i guess it's fine at the end.0

cantaloupe. I can eat an entire cantaloupe over the course of the day. I really need to stop cutting them up in tidy cubes and putting it in tupperware LOL0

Sunflower seeds. Something satisfying about cracking the kernel open and spitting the husk on the ground.1
-
Flamin' Hot Limon Cheetos. Gah. Can't even buy them.1

Peanut Butter M&M and Lays Honey BBq Chips. I am sooo craving them right now to. I went 1 month with no candy or chips. It was easily but I am still craving it. Certain brands of ice cream as well. I can eat Halo Top by the serving and be ok. Its good, but it isn't that good for me to binge or eat the whole pint in one setting. However blue bell, Edys or something like that then I will demolish it. Oh and pralines. I don't eat those often but when I do I can't just eat one or 2. I need more. lol. Damn, I want pralines now....0

Oh, and Marshmallow Fruit Loops. I can eat a whole box in a day.

I don't have to avoid any foods but I could honestly live on protein bars and black coffee if it weren't for nutrition and caffeine overkill.0
-
Parmesan flavored Cheezits. Not to be kept anywhere near me....
I can easily polish off an entire box in one sitting.1 -
Bought a bag of this at Target yesterday. It's all gone. My kids don't like it.

I can't keep fresca in the house. Cannot moderate the stuff for the life of me.1
-
Rice Krispies. If I bring that *kitten* into my house, consider it gone by day's end.0
-
If I let myself, I can eat an entire large watermelon all to myself.0
-
cheese. one more bite/slice until it's gone. I don't buy it anymore0

Oh, yeah. I don't care what size bag you buy, one bag = one serving. So, so good!0 -
I would give my left arm to eat some Rice Krispie Treats. Not the pre-packaged ones you can buy pre-made. They are nasty. The ones I make from scratch. They the most addictive treat known to mankind.0

While I plan and include 30g of peanut butter most days, that same peanut butter on salty carby things is my kryptonite.2
-
Meringues! I thought I would try them as a nice light snack as I had seen people on here mention them. Turns out they are way too moreish for me to be able to stop at one or even two. I ate a pack of nests with strawberries and cream and vowed never to bring them in the house again unless I have people to share with.1

Almost nothing beats a good mango3

Potato chips. BBQ, chili, cheddar, whatever flavors. These chips are full of flavors, salty, tangy, sweet, and very fun texture. They are washed down well with cold beer.0
